Coon Rapids-based Parkers Farm recalls Listeria Products
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has issued a consumer advisory for certain peanut butter, cheese, salsa, cream cheese bagel spreads, dips and spreads made by Coon Rapids-based Parkers Farm.
The department says sampling found some of the products were contaminated with the bacteria that can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious disease.
No illnesses have been reported. Consumers should discard any of the recalled products.
The department says Parkers Farm is cooperating in the investigation.
The products are distributed nationwide in retail stores under the Parkers Farm or Parkers labels. The products may have been sold at Hy-Vee, Cub, Rainbow, Lunds/Byerly's, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel, Dominicks or Marsh stores.
We eat their products all the time and have had no issues!! The BEST peanutbutter by far!!!!! Just an FYI, there is all sorts of bacteria in soil and I have no doubt that if the soil on half the farm in Minnesota were tested that you would find the same bacteria!!! Take care of your gut terrain and you should be able to handle the occassional pathogen!!!
Fear, fear, fear.....so sick of all the fear being spread around!!!!
(do I smell a conspiricy here)))

Maybe but listeria is very dangerous. My elderly uncle just got a visit from hospice today because he has been infected with the listeria virus. He also got a visit from the department of health, they are questioning where and what he has eaten recently. That is why I found my way here. I was searching for more information on listeria. So unless you are a doctor or a scientist why don't you refrain from telling everyone how safe everything is.
